Angela Simmons first rocked these gorgeous 7" yellow platform pumps on 106 and Park a while back and I instantly fell in love. Oclay Gulsen unveiled the entire collection and I have to say, although I'm loving the ankle strap on the yellow pair for support, my favorite pair would have to be the black mesh platform pump below.

Shockingly though these 7" heels are not that hard to walk in. Any time you have a 7" inch heel you should probably want to have a double or triple stacked platform... otherwise your feet would look something like this...

Now that's painful! ...yet sexy...

We've been seeing so much of the platform pump lately that it's almost refreshing to see a pair of shoes with a single sole. Read why one of my favorite designers, Brian Atwood says platform pumps are here to stay!

I think they’re here to stay, especially for women because they’re so used to being put on these pedestals. Everyone’s wearing them and it’s hard to walk into a party and you feel so short. I feel short!

I think that nowadays it’s not about one thing is right, one thing is wrong. Women will always have a platform in their wardrobe. It’s never going to be completely ‘out’. Maybe you’ll see the single sole like it is now being revisited and it looks good, it looks fresh because we’ve been so platform heavy. But I think it’s good to have both, there’s a time for both, and especially with certain outfits and silhouettes. - Brian Atwood, Fashionista.com
